Re: Questions about Sinus Infections

[Guest guest]

,

I hate to say it, but he only way we had luck was continuing to try

antihistamines until we found one that worked. We've got one boy on D

DAllergy (2x a day) and the other on Allegra (1 x a day) (plus both on

Nasacort and Astelin).

One more thought.... could there be inflammation in his throat/tonsils? It

might make it harder for things to drain out and stay clear. When we

finally got my littlest one's stuffiness under control, his chronic waxy

right ear cleared up.

What is D Allergy? We've tried all the prescription

stuff I thought we could find on the market, and my 13

yo is still always stuffy. I'm about ready to rip up

all of the carpeting in his room and put in a wood or

linoleum flooring. I don't know what else to do. It

never seems to go away. He also has polyps and a

deviated septum in one nose which doesn't help.

Barb,

Here's a link regarding DAllergy Jr. (by the way, I just figured out that if

you search for it with a space between the " D " and " Allergy " it's not too

easy to find).

It is a prescription drug.

I think my oldest has a polyp, and years on every treatment known to man

have not cleared it up. Do they ever go away on their won?

I have had great success clearing my sinus infections with

homeopathic remedies. It works like a miracle for me.

I have also had much success with homeopathic nasal spray for my 3yr old.

Of course, diet is a trigger for him (dairy in particular). I've also

noticed that playing in sand causes nasal drip/stuffiness. I've not

isolated whether it's the sand particulates, dust or viruses in the sand

that cause the problem. We just try to avoid it!
